The planning stage is marked by an early engagement notice, with the engagement end date set for 8 April 2022. This procurement falls under the industry category of communication equipment, specifically voice recorders, and will be based in London, England. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in communication technology solutions, particularly those that can deliver systems for recording and transmitting voice data securely. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in voice recording technology and tailored solutions for emergency services would be well-suited to participate in this Request for Information process, as it invites interested suppliers to express their capabilities and engage with the Home Office's requirements. ## Notice This Notice is in relation to a Request for Information (RFI) on behalf of the Emergency Services Mobile Communication Programme (ESMCP) within the Home Office. The Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP) was established in 2011 to determine a replacement for its Airwave (Tetra based) solution. ESMCP aims to provide an integrated critical voice and broadband data communications service for the three Emergency Services (3ES) and other User Organisations (UOs) in Great Britain that meet the public safety requirements for coverage, functionality, availability and security. This is known as the Emergency Services Network (ESN). The Control Rooms team is responsible for working with 3ES to ensure they can safely transition their control rooms from the Airwave to ESN network. Through ongoing user engagement and market analysis the team has identified the need for a new ESN Bulk Recording Solution (BRS). ESMCP is now conducting a market review to assist in determining how it may deliver a BRS solution that will support 3ES and UOs Control Room operations following their migration to ESN. It will assess the market capability and appetite to deliver the BRS including options for the scope of this solution and its components. This Early Engagement notice is in relation to an early market engagement RFI process only and is not a call for competition. This does not oblige the Authority to undertake a procurement. Potential suppliers with an interest in the Programme and who provide services as outlined within section VI.3) Additional information below are invited to express an interest in participating in this RFI by e-mailing ESMCPSupplier@homeoffice.gov.uk . A copy of the RFI will be provided subject to the signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement by the potential supplier. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/240ab4b3-def9-4eab-8fbb-23a770cc1c1b | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 8 Apr 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HOME OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 9EX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment ### Codes - 32342450 - Voice recorders ## Release History - 31 Mar 2022 at 15:54 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/240ab4b3-def9-4eab-8fbb-23a770cc1c1b - 4 Mar 2022 at 14:12 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/878e08da-f831-4c63-942c-82999dfe3bdb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/240ab4b3-def9-4eab-8fbb-23a770cc1c1b 31st March 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/878e08da-f831-4c63-942c-82999dfe3bdb 4th March 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
